Blendon Woods Civic Association
The original association was created in 1988. It started out as a block watch group, but because there was a lot of new construction happening in the area the organizers decided to create a civic association from the block watch group.This newly formed civic association was called “The Blendon Estates Civic Association.”
Our subdivision was built as three phases: Blendon Estates – Phase I; Blendon Estates – Phase II; and The Woods at Blendon. The original association was formed from residents of the first two phases, thus the name: Blendon Estates Civic Association. After The residents of The Woods at Blendon asked to join the group its name was changed to “The Blendon Woods Civic Association.” A few years later, a new section was developed off of Broadview Road (with houses on Panorama and Swingley Drives) was also approved to join the group.BWCA's current geographical boundaries are: North – Beaver Head; South - Broadview Road; West – Wolf Run Drive; East – Eagle Head Drive.
There are currently 325 homes that are in our civic association. Roughly 65% of the homeowners are dues paying members of the association. We plan several events throughout the year: an Annual Spring Garage Sale, the Fourth of July Parade, and a Pumpkin Party in October. We have an annual dues drive. We publish a neighborhood directory as well as bi-monthly newsletter. Because the city of Columbus does not always plow our streets in the winter we had decided a few years ago to ask residents for additional money to plow our own streets. The snow plowing is paid for out of the general fund.

Cooperwoods Condominium Association
Cooperwoods Condominium was created in 1984 as a conversion of an apartment community constructed in 1977. It sits on top a bluff on the west side of Cooper Rd., with it's entrance off of Granada Hills. This picturesque property is surrounded on three sides by wooded areas. There are eight residential buildings and one community building, a pool, and two creeks on six and a half acres.
The Board of Trustees has a more hands-on disposition than most, and its purpose is to maintain a strong community by managing assets, ensuring compliance with covenants and by-laws, and preserving the property values of the owners.
Cooperwoods Block Watch, founded in 1991, was one of the first in the City of Columbus. Several on-site meetings are held and National Night Out is observed each year with a community cook out.
Forest Park Civic Association
The community of Forest Park consists of almost 2900 private residential properties (single-family homes and duplexes), plus apartments, condominiums, commercial properties, city-owned parks and schools, in approximately 1.4 square miles of the Northland area of northeast Columbus, Ohio. These properties adjoin a total of 132 distinct streets and courts maintained by the city of Columbus. The communityʹs approximate center is near the intersection of Karl Road and Sandalwood Place in Columbus.
Forest Park is located in the Northland region of northeast Columbus, Ohio (Franklin County), north of Morse Road, south of State Route 161, east of Interstate 71, and west of Cleveland Avenue. Karl Road separates Forest Park East and West. Forest Park is approximately 8 miles NNE, and 12 miles by highway, from the center of downtown Columbus (Broad & High Streets). Nearby communities include the cities of Westerville (to the northeast) and Worthington (to the northwest) and the village of Minerva Park (to the east). The entire community is within the Columbus city limits, Sharon Historic Township, the Northland planning district, the Columbus City school district, area code 614 and ZIP (postal) code 43229. The approximate geographic center of the community is located at 40.0765 (N) latitude, -82.9705 (W) longitude.
Nearly every street in Forest Park is lined with trees (hence the name) in city-owned tree lawns, and most individual parcels also include one or more mature trees. Street names are mostly derived from species of trees (though not necessarily descriptive of the trees found along them). Virtually every street in Forest Park has sidewalks on both sides of the street, which was not typical of construction during the early 1960's in Columbus.
The Forest Park Civic Association (FPCA) was founded as a not-for-profit Ohio corporation in April 1962 and continues to provide services to and advocate for residents of the community. It is funded by voluntary dues paid by households and businesses in the community during an annual membership drive. The Forester, the Forest Park newsletter, averages 24 pages and is delivered to more than 3500 homes in and around Forest Park every month except February. It is free of charge to area residents and largely self-supporting through advertising by local businesses. The FPCA also publishes a triennial Forest Park Directory of residents, provided at no additional charge to paid member households.

Minerva Park Community Association
The Village of Minerva Park was incorporated in 1940, but the process of developingt of the old amusement park site into a housing community had actually begun in the 1920’s. Progress was drastically slowed by the Great Depression, but in 1940 Minerva Park finally incorporated as a municipality. The incorporation created a Village government consisting of a Mayor and a Village Council along with a police and fire departments. By the 1970’s the Village of Minerva Park had grown to its current boundaries, spreading SE from the corner of State Route 161 and Cleveland Avenue to Westerville Road. Today, Minerva Park’s population is relatively steady at approximately 1,277 people living in 564 households. Minerva Park residents also enjoy being a part of the Westerville school district and the greater Blendon Township community. The Minerva Park Community Association (formerly the Minerva Park Civic Association), was founded in 1971, and continues to serve Village residents today.

The Village at Preston Woods Condominium Association
The Village at Preston Woods is a community of 11 four-unit ranch condo buildings located on approximately 8 acres along Hamilton Road about one-half mile north of State Route 161. It is a fairly new community, having been established in 2006. In addition to the condos, there is a Club House with an exercise room, a pool, and a pond. It is ideally situated to allow easy access to I-270, I-670, and SR-161 which makes getting to Easton, Polaris, downtown Columbus, or practically any part of town no big deal.
The Condominium Association Board was formed in 2011 and serves as the governing body for the community; ensuring that services such as landscape maintenance, snow removal, trash pick-up, and architectural integrity are provided for all residents. The Board also establishes rules and regulations so that the community can function smoothly and we maintain fiscal accountability over the Association's funds.
Presently, the population of the community is pretty evenly divided between renters and resident-owners, with a wide range of ages represented in both groups. We enjoy the diversity provided by the presence of young families with children, older two person families, singles, retired folks, and people still in the work-force.
Recently, we have begun to reach-out to surrounding communities such as New Albany, Westerville, and Gahanna, as well as several agencies that are active in the area. Even though we are a small group, we are eager to be involved in what's going on around us and to stay abreast of local developments.

Salem Civic Association
The Salem Civic Association (SCA) was originally founded in 1969 and was most recently re-chartered with the City of Columbus in 2007. It represents over 2,000 Salem-area residents to a number of civic bodies and municipal offices, including the Columbus City Council, Office of the Mayor and the Northland Community Council on issues of public safety, zoning, development and more. The SCA also provides a platform for community-building & advocacy, and represents a commitment on behalf of the residents of Salem to promote, maintain and continuously better their neighborhood.
The boundaries of Salem are defined as State Route 161 to the north, the railroad tracks along Indianola Ave to the west, Interstate 71 to the east, and Morse Rd. to the south. It includes a number of developments, including Salem Village, Chaseland Manors, Pencader and Indianola Estates. Landmarks within Salem include Chaseland Park, Salem Elementary School, and Bob Poste Lake.
Today, Salem is a neighborhood in transition with many young families joining a community that is still home to a significant percentage of its original residents. This mix has produced a local culture that blends youthful vigor with quiet, tree-lined streets and endless opportunities for social engagement. That culture, paired with great proximity to major commercial centers (like Polaris Fashion Place and Easton Towne Center) and easy access major traffic arteries (including I-71, Morse Road and High Street) make Salem a very desirable place to live.
Participation in the Salem Civic Association is voluntary and open to all residents, businesses and other stakeholders. The association is very active, and meets in-whole on the 4th Tuesday of each month (except for December). Visit www.salemcivic.org for more information.

It is in the Westerville City School district, and within 3 miles of Easton Shopping Center, Giant Eagle, Kroger, Meijer, WalMart, Sam's Club, Kohls, and many more large and local stores.
